Hello,
My name is Julie Dare. I am pleased to serve as the point of contact to Los Alamos Public Schools’ Native students and their families. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to get to know our Native students and their families on a deeper level. My goals as a liaison are to facilitate meaningful events for Native students as well as to connect Native students to valuable educational resources.
I was born and raised in Los Alamos and am a LAHS alumnus. My undergraduate degree is in American Studies, and I have a graduate degree in Special Education. I have served LAPS both as a special education teacher and as a preschool teacher. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns at j.dare@laschools.net.
